Role of the County Assessor- The Cook County Assessor is required by law to identify and assign fair market values to all properties in Cook County.  The Cook County Assessor does not set taxes, mail bills or collect taxes.  The Assessor is responsible only for your assessed valuation. 

Role of the Township Assessor- By statute the township Assessor is the Deputy to the Cook County Assessor and is under direction from that office.  However, since the Township Assessor does not assess, this office is in the unique position to assist Taxpayers with assessed value complaints, along with other services such as filing exemptions.
